No music is better than ska. Playing trombone in a ska band is what its all about. 6 years ago

Being in a band has always been a dream of mine. I wouldn’t know what I would play because I suck at almost everything I play, so I would probably just have to do all the synth and DJ type stuff and be background band member, because I don’t play much plus I’m not really a person who would look good with a band. I’m not “visually” band material.

But the good thing is, I can play one instrument well enough to be in a band that plays a certain kind of music: Ska. I haven’t listened to much Ska, but unlike many people I know, I acctually like it and know what it’s about. The first Ska I ever listened to would have to be the Supertones back when they were really really good. Like, their first CD which I love. I started listening to them when I was a Freshman in highschool then other infulences lead me into my favorite type of music is the Heavy type rock, like Disturbed and Static-X.

But recently that has changed. My friend Cassie, hath introduced me to my kind of Ska: Catch 22, Pain, and other really AWESOME ska. That and she’s starting a ska band, and what I was trying to say before I got off topic a little, was that the only instrument that I can play decently is the Tenor Sax and that seems to be an instrument of choice for ska, along with the other saxes, trumpet, and trombone. So I can finally be in a band. 7 years ago
